I've spent the last week on JPost, in the comments section specifically...& I learned something about Zionists... They are unwilling to listen...They are unwilling to critisize a single thing about Israel...
No one is innocent.
You said this is your last thread about Israel. Good. I hope you keep your promise.

Well, short of running elaborate PR campaigns and lobbying influential institutions to support the formation of a Palestinian state, i don't think anything will change soon. As such, i do agree that current protests, online and otherwise, are not working. Let's face it, forum posts and casual democratic protests won't provide a sustainable solution to the Israel/Palestine divide.
That said, there is no denying that progress is being made. Just recently, the EU Foreign Chief declared support for a Palestinian state. As did Sweden. Most of the world supports, and recognises a sovereign Palestine, so it is only a matter of time until the pressure is felt in Israel to abide by the wishes of the international society. That may not come with the current government, but future governments will be more likely to pursue peace, in my opinion.
